About Us

Dotty about Paper is a stationery company based in a Grade II Listed building in the lovely historic market town of Bridgnorth. Originally established as a wedding and christening specialist in 2004 under the name The Card Gallery, it has since grown to offer stationery for birthdays, engagement parties, anniversaries, and other occasions. All Dotty about Paper products are designed by us in our very own riverside studio and made in Britain.

Lisa Forde, the company director, employs a small team of full-and-part-time staff, all of whom are passionate about what they do. So, while our name may have changed, you can still expect the same outstanding customer service from the same knowledgeable staff!

Dotty about Paper is an online company with an easy-to-use website, allowing you to shop at your own leisure. We also believe in offering excellent support via phone and e-mail should you need any help. Our studio opening hours are 9:00 to 5:15 on Monday through to Friday. We can be contacted on 01746 766876 or info@dottyaboutpaper.co.uk – if you are contacting us outside of these hours, then please leave a message and we will get back to you the next working day.
